Will This imac Spec Work?
So I have been debating and researching and am wondering which model i should get for myself. I am 14 and have been saving since january and this is my first switch to a mac so i want to make the perfect choice. I am wondering if the base model will run photoshop well. That is the most intensive and heavy program I intend on working. Should i get the higher model though? I intend to upgrade my ram once i get it. Thank you

Base Mini (£400) + Samsung Syncmaster (£150) + external DVD burner (£50) + external 500GB hard drive (£70) = £670
Second choice is cheaper, two drives for copying DVDs, better display for Photoshop work. It's also easier to upgrade as you can just get a new Mini.
The only downside is the graphics chipset but you don't need it for Photoshop. Also the Ram is more difficult to upgrade in the Mini. Besides those deliberate flaws, it's a more practical machine.
You can even take it to school with you for the odd presentation and just plug it into a display.
Wait for the new one though, it should be coming pretty soon and a graphics + HD bump should make up for the Mini's flaws.
